"Easy to see why Arcade Fire were inspired by this film while writing the songs for Reflektor. This soundtrack is mesmerizing, perfectly weaving in with the film, an incredible expression of the Greek myth/legend that inspired more operas than any other."  Reply

"While Summertime is timeless, I didn't really fall in love with it. I think with most things like this (Opera/Musical) you have to experience it live, not just listening to a recording. If you've fallen in love with it live, you'll love the recording. The score I'm giving is strictly on the recor..."  [+]  Reply
